Austin FC fell 2-1 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday night at Q2 Stadium.
Myrto Uzuni found the net in the 40th minute by anticipating and intercepting a back pass from a Vancouver defender. He made no mistake when facing Whitecaps goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka one-on-one to give the Verde & Black the lead going into halftime.
The visitors would equalize two minutes into the second half though with Ryan Gauld heading in a cross from Emmanuel Sabbi. The sides continued to battle before Yadaly Diaby placed an unstoppable shot in the top corner from outside the penalty area, a goal which held up as the match winner.
